That is certainly a necessary invention for a real estate developer...otherwise how could they display information about their latest housing projects or large malls on an iPhone?!
And the mineral evolution is then effected by the biological processes. Its not a simple cause and effect, not a line. Its a web, or more accurately a cloud. Nothing living here can change without changing whatever it interacts with, and similarly, nothing around a living organism can change without have some effect on that organism. Are these effects noticable? Not really, certainly not in the short term. But they are certainly not negligable.

Possibly, but you could also unravel any riddle, for any individdle...in trouble or in pain.
Oh the thoughts you'd be thinkin'! You could be another Lincoln! If you only had a brain.
Reminds me of the ending of Godzilla: 2000. A few of the actors are on a rooftop and the little child asks, "Why does Godzilla always save our city?" And the Scientist type replies, "Maybe there's a little Godzilla...in all of us" Cue the triumphant music and then cut to Godzilla absolutely wrecking everything as he leaves the city. I may be a little fuzzy on the details, but I will always treasure the absolute absurdity of that ending.
Godzilla is a registered trademark of Toho Co. Ltd and is used here without consent...please don't sue me.
Hybrid, transistor, and chip? No, no problem whatsoever. My problem is with memristor, and memristance. They were made up to describe a resistance "setting" being remembered by a variable resistor. And frankly, the only problem I have is that the word originated for written text, where it is fine. I, however, am a big fan of the spoken language and the flow of a well constructed sentence. For a car analogy, a memristor is like a faulty transmission in the car that is a sentence's flow. It lurches and degrades the overall ride.
Unfortunately, when Williams unveiled the device no one understood what he'd said and he was forcibly taken to the local emergency room for fear he was having a stroke.
I get it, its a hybridization of technologies, but that does not require a name which is so ridiculous to pronounce. Say it outload a few times.
Now, who wants to try their hand at coming up with a better name?
but i really don't see how this would be better than real-world training exercises using blanks or paintball rounds
I was mobilized in 2005 for a tour in Iraq. And during my unit's mobilization training the most commonly heard phrase was, "For training purposes and training purposes only." Basically the CO of the base (neither of which shall be named) was so concerned about safety that we could not effectively "train as you fight". I cannot easily place myself in that CO's shoes, so I cannot pass judgement on the reasons we were trained that way. And I can assure you the instructors did their level best to train us within those limitations. I can also assure you however that if Halo 2 had used cordon and search tactics or proper convoy procedures we would have ALL been subject matter experts.
The more I think about it, the more I believe it probably wouldn't be that tough to convert a standard travel mug design to be zero-G ready. Fit a thumb lever on the top of the handle (think beer stein) to operate a small hatch over the drinking hole, and a squeeze operated handle (think caulk gun) lever which ratchets a plunger up from the bottom of the mug, similar to upright toothpaste dispensers. Why am I pondering this...I need to get back to work.
All kidding aside, it takes the little innovations like this to make prolonged stays in space bearable. At the very least it removes Capri Sun's stranglehold over drink service for space tourism flights.
While chess improves planning and critical thinking, it certainly is not enough. Unless you have a new variation of chess with pieces to represent unmanned aerial surveilance and attack vehicles, strategic air strikes, squad based tactics, and the enemies guerilla tactics. If you do, I'm sure the Army would be willing to have a look, and at the least I'd be most happy to try it.
Right, but if we can model the human brain in computers, we could create it to also attack problems with the current analytical programming and algorithms. Furthermore, if the computer were self learning it would be able to decide which type of processing would be best for a given application. I think its wonderfully exciting. And I wonder where it will take society should it become self aware. I also hope we never give something like this the keys to the kingdom so to speak, for fear of being locked outside.

For a second there I thought they were trying to patent soup...talk about prior art...

Wow...this is awkward...
Anyyone aboard the ISS who goes "Oh noes" should immediately be sent out of the airlock, sans suit.
Maybe...so long as it isn't constantly fighting deceptipons.
Autopots! Transist and roll out!

I use the latest in nanofilters. Its holes are so small even water can't get through!

You see Frank? This is why no one comes to your parties anymore. You're weird.

They just drink pencils.
